Dawson County
Lamesa 26 1950CST
2300CST
Several locations were inundated by
flood waters in Lamesa. Flash flooding
caused high water to flow through
Forest Park and along North Main
Street.
Tropical-like rainfall occurred over
portions of west Texas during the last
weekend in September. On Sunday the
26th, widespread flash floods resulted
from heavy rains that accompanied a
complex of warm topped convection that
propagated slowly from the mountains of
southwest Texas and the Big Bend
northeast across the Permian Basin.
A sudden onset of dangerous flash
flooding conditions at sunrise caught
campers by surprise in the Davis
Mountains. At least four people were
isolated by raging flood waters at two
camp sites in rural portions of that
county. Campers at one site were
stranded for nearly twenty-four hours
before a rescue helicopter was used to
lift them to safety.
The threat of significant flash
flooding spread northeast across the
Upper Trans Pecos and the west Texas
Permian Basin through the afternoon and
evening hours. This resulted in
dangerous driving conditions across
portions of the area. A car was swept
off of a highway by flood waters in
Gaines County during the early evening
hours. Serious injuries or deaths were
narrowly avoided when two semi-trucks
lost control and hydroplaned off of a
rain soaked Interstate 20 in Howard
County. One truck barely missed
emergency workers who were attending to
the initial accident.
The heavy rainfall began to subside
across most of the region by late
evening on the 26th. Flash flooding
continued in some locations as runoff
persisted through much of the night. No
injuries were reported across the area.
Gaines County
8 W Seminole to 27 0600CST
8 E Seminole 1000CST
Before sunrise on Monday the 27th,
thunderstorms again initiated over the
Permian Basin. Heavy rainfall from this
activity quickly led to flash flooding
over saturated grounds. Local law
enforcement officials reported flash
flooding at several locations along
U.S. Highway 180 in the vicinity of
Seminole. Between one and two feet of
flowing water was reported over a half
mile stretch eight miles east of
Seminole. The intersection of Farm to
Market Road 1429 and U.S. Highway 180
also was inundated by flood waters six
miles east of the city. High water also
made a stretch of the same highway
impassable eight miles west of Seminole
during the late morning hours.
Gaines County
8 W Seagravesto 27 0640CST
Loop 1230CST
Texas Highway 83 also was affected by
flash flooding in northern Gaines
County. At 06:40 CST local officials
reported flowing flood waters over the
highway eight miles west of Seagraves.
Hazardous driving conditions spread
east along that route through the
morning hours as the heavy rainfall
slowly propagated east. Up to two feet
of water covered the intersection of
Texas Highway 83 and U.S. Highway 385
in Seagraves. Impassable conditions
also were reported east along Texas
Highway 83 near Loop.
Borden County
14 W Gail 27 1010CST

A pre-dawn round of thunderstorms
resulted in another round of flash
flooding across the northwestern
Permian Basin of west Texas. Several
major highways were closed due to high
water.
Andrews County
Andrews 27 1630CST
1900CST
Thunderstorms and heavy rain again
erupted over west Texas during the
afternoon of the 27th. Saturated ground
conditions were first aggravated by
downpours over Andrews. Urban flash
flooding quickly ensued and several
vehicles stalled in flooded city
streets. The Andrews Fire Department
conducted at least one high water
rescue. No injuries were reported.
Ward County
20 SSE Monahans to 27 2110CST
22 SSE Monahans 2330CST

flowing over Farm to Market Road 871 in
southeast Ward County. Several
secondary roadways also were inundated
by flood waters.
Ector County
5 SSE West Odessa to 27 1925CST
West Odessa 28 1500CST
A small linear convective complex
developed over western Ector County
during the early evening hours. The
complex persisted and remained nearly
stationary for almost two hours. Very
intense rainfall fell over Monahans
Draw near West Odessa.
The first reports of flash flooding
indicated that high water rendered Farm
to Market Road 866, Texas Highway 302,
and Interstate 20 impassable. Up to six
feet of water was reported crossing low
lying areas of Farm to Market Road 866
just north of the Interstate 20
junction. Several vehicles became
stalled in high water flowing across
the interstate, resulting in high water
rescues of stranded motorists.
By late evening the swollen Monahans
Draw, usually a dry depression,
inundated residential areas in West
Odessa. The hardest hit areas were near
Third and Damascus Streets. The most
extensive damage occurred to several
trailer parks in the Westcliff, Knox
Village, and Manor subdivisions. Rescue
crews from three fire departments
worked well into the night to remove
distressed residents from homes and
vehicles that were threatened by high
water. One fire engine stalled in the
flood waters. Many families were
displaced to emergency shelters in
other portions of the city and in
Odessa. More than forty homes suffered
serious damage. Four trailer homes and
two permanent homes were destroyed.
Another fifteen single family homes
experienced major damage from the flood
waters.
Thunderstorms dissipated over Ector
County shortly before midnight CST.
This brought a temporary reprieve from
the excessive rainfall. Runoff,
however, continued to present a threat
of flash flooding through the nighttime
hours. As a result local emergency
management officials continued to
report major flash flooding along
Monahans Draw through the night.
During the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday
the 28th, another band of showers and
thunderstorms moved north across Ector
County. Brief heavy rainfall from this
activity aggravated the flash flood
situation. By 06:35 CST local officials
were again at work to evacuate
residents near the intersections of
Tripp and Twenty-Third Streets and
Tenth and Redondo Streets. Between two
and three feet of water was reported
rushing through those city streets and
threatened numerous homes. At least
three high water rescues also were
conducted to bring stranded motorists
to the safety of dry ground.
Rainfall ended over Ector County by
09:00 CST. Significant runoff and
associated flash flooding of low lying
areas prevented access to much of the
city through the early afternoon hours.
Ector County
Odessa 27 2000CST

heavy rainfall over Ector County during
the late morning hours, significant
flood waters remained in several West
Odessa neighborhoods. It took several
additional hours for flooding to
recede.
Scattered thunderstorms developed and
produced locally very heavy rainfall
over the western parts of the west
Texas Permian Basin during the late
afternoon and evening of the 27th. Many
West Odessa residents were displaced
from their homes during the late
evening hours when flash flooding along
Monahans Draw devastated parts of the
city. No casualties were reported, but
at least twenty families were left
homeless.

Permian Basin of west Texas resumed
during the mid to late morning hours
when a band of showers and
thunderstorms developed and propagated
across the area. Several rural and
secondary roadways were inundated by
flood waters in Howard County. In
addition, dangerous urban flash
flooding resulted in at least two
submerged vehicles in Midland.

2.5 ESE Grandfalls 1822CST
Strong to severe thunderstorms over
Pecos County spawned a left moving
(anticyclonic) severe storm that
rapidly propagated over the town of
Grandfalls. Quarter to golfball size
hail was reported in addition to
damaging winds. Five power poles were
snapped along State Route 11 just
southeast of town. In town, an abandon
mobile home was rolled by the winds and
destroyed while the roof of another
mobile home in the southwest portions
of the community was blown onto a
nearby pickup truck. Several trees were
uprooted and a historic church also
sustained serious roof damage.
A damage survey conducted by the
National Weather Service concluded that
the severe winds that produced the
damage was uniform in direction,
blowing debris from the southwest to
the northeast. The damage swath covered
an area three miles wide. These
observations were consistent with the
occurrence of a large downburst, or
macroburst.
Thunderstorms erupted along the Davis
Mountains in southwest Texas during the
afternoon and evening of the 30th.
Several of these thunderstorms became
severe as they propagated northeast
across the Trans Pecos and produced
large hail and damaging winds. The most
significant impacts from the storms
occurred in the community of
Grandfalls. Damaging winds destroyed
two trailer homes and partially removed
the roof on a historic church.

had to be rescued early Thursday
morning when flood waters overtook
areas of Brockman Road, Estate
Nazareth, and Sanchez Town in Nadir.
Estate Nadir was hit the hardest when
the water swelled out of the runoff
channels and overtaxed drainage
ditches, causing widespread flooding
and erosion. On St Croix, flooding was
reported in Gallows Bay, Estate Ruby,
Estate Grove Place, Estate Whim, Tide
Village, Calquohoun, Midland Road,
Mon-Bijou and Frangipani. The rains
brought mudslides and forced large
rocks onto roadways on Queen Mary
Highway. On St John, downed trees,
mud and rock slides were reported. The
agricultural impact was significant in
St. Croix mainly were major flooding
occurred. Farmers experienced
significant damage and crop losses with
bananas, plantains, sugar cane,
vegetables and fruit trees. Plants that
were not destroyed by the winds
eventually overturned due to
waterlogged conditions. Winds reports
in the U.S. Virgin Islands varied, the
St Croix airport recorded sustained
winds of 52 mph with gusts to 62 mph.
The St Thomas airport recorded
sustained winds of 39 mph with gust to
